The band with the name you love to hate, Diarrhea Planet, are back with a free track from the folks at Adult Swim Singles. "Spooners" is a another guitar overloaded, sweaty shredder, from the Nashville six piece. Dramatic pauses and breakdowns included. Make sure to smash up to San Diego’s Soda Bar with us on Aug 10th. Don’t let Monday ruin your Sunday.

The Sector 9 Downhill Division was mobbing pack runs at the 2014 IDF Whistler World Cup. With 7 technical hairpins the crew strapped on some GoPro's to capture the action. Congratulations to Jimmy Riha for 2nd in Open, Curt Watts for 1st in Juniors, and Jeff Budro for 3rd in Masters.

The Downhill Division came ready to ride at the Maryhill Festival of Speed. Good fortune brought dry roads and fast tail winds making for some impressive pack riding. Congratulations to Connor Ferguson for staying fast and taking 1st in Juniors, and to Jimmy Riha and Ricardo Reis for taking 5th and 6th in Open.

Val Surf throws down for Malibu contest this weekend. Sunshine and a head high south swell is what we are looking forward too. Also hoping for a Sector 9 final with Adam Virs, Ricky Whitlock, Balaram Stack, and Mikey McCabe.

Returning for its 9th year and with a new location, the Sector 9 Go Skateboarding Day Poker Run was back with a bang... or a bean. The group skated to Robb Field in Ocean Beach to set off the 1st annual Go Skate Day Dodgeball Tournament. Food, giveaways, and fist-fulls of cash were only the beginning as dodgeballers sacrificed their bodies in the name of skateboarding.

Lapping around for another year, the Sector 9 x Pocono Skate Race was a fast success. Thanks to the Pocono Raceway, Kyle Petty, Frankie Walsh, and all the riders who participated in the race. We cant wait to burn rubber and urethane with you all again next year!
